My birthday is this month, and I was eligible to receive a small gift.

I like gifts.

In the email I received, I was shown two gift options: a set of two NARS mini lip pencils or a skin care product.

I politely asked the cashier for my birthday gift, and she handed me the lip pencils.

I said something like “Oh. Wasn’t there a skin care product?”

Cashier who looked like she didn’t want to be there: “Oh, that’s the male option.”

Me: “Male option?”

Cashier: “Yes. We do have male customers.”

Clearly she misunderstood my surprise, which wasn’t toward the gender of Sephora customers. It was directed at the fact that apparently this anti-aging thing and cucumber gel mask was apparently specifically for men. 

What?
